Richard Clapton is one of Australia's foremost singer/songwriters, with a career unparalleled throughout the history of Australian music. Clapton paved the way for three generations of songwriters to write about the experience of being Australian.

2008 marked the 35th anniversary of Richard's debut album released here in 1973 but his songs are still on the radio. His records chart the political landscape of the nation and the turbulent lives of two generations.

Always willing to reinvent himself and one of the few iconic Australian artists who has managed to maintain a major recording career for the past 35 years, from the release of his very first album to his last, Richard is in fine form and ready to get out on the road again and do what he does best.
